Depeche Mode/Stabbing Westward - Cox Arena

Muffs/Anna Waronker Band/Bellrays/Chopper One - Whisky

During the Muffs' performance, I found out that I was standing next to a member of Nerf Herder.  I told him that I liked their theme for the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Einsturzende Neubauten/Not Breathing - Palace

Saint Etienne/Beachwood Sparks - Roxy

Lloyd Cole/Jill Sobule - Roxy

Anna Waronker - Largo

This was just one of the many times I saw Anna Waronker during 1998.  Her many Largo shows gave her an opportunity to try out new songs and to work with different performers.
